There were many great images here!
Ulrik Fristed, it's nice to see an image here from a fellow Scandinavian! And I love your portrait of Vega. No, the blue color of Vega isn't that saturated, but it is, darn it, nevertheless so
blue. It knocks you out when you look at it through a telescope. Thank you for this delightful portrait of one of the most beloved stars in the sky!
Filipe, I am the wrong person to impress with pictures rendered in the Hubble palette, but even I like your Andromeda Galaxy. I am particularly impressed with the H alpha spiral at the center of Andromeda.
Bogdan, I am incredibly impressed by the fantastic effort you have undertaken to have all those sky objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud labelled! Wow!!!
And Adam, you know you are my idol for producing all those (260?) color images of galaxies on the NOAO homepage. The Flame Nebula is not my favorite object, mostly because I feel stumped when it comes to having an opinion of the color of it, in the same way as I am stumped by the color of planetary nebulae. Well, your image of the Flame Nebula is beautifully resolved, the color looks very nice, and I suppose the color is accurate!
